How about some TLC for the car, truck or SUV?

Candy! Flowers! These are the staples of Valentine’s Day giving. But you don’t have to stay in that rut. You can surprise them – give them a gift they’d never expect. For instance, you could preen and pamper their car, truck or SUV. Talk about a gift they’ll appreciate long after the holiday has passed …

They depend on that vehicle. Safety, dependability and comfort are the keywords to a quality automotive experience. And you can help keep them in their car, truck or SUV in the pink.

So, what kind of vehicle pampering could you give? Here are some ideas:

Have their car, truck or SUV detailed. Having someone clean their vehicle, inside and out, leaving it spic-and-span, with a new car smell and scent is a wonderful way to say, “I love you.” Detailers will eliminate that sticky stuff from the steering wheel and the ground-in dirt on the seats and carpet. They’ll bring back the luster to the car, truck or SUV’s finish that your significant other probably thought was gone for good.
Send them for an oil change and checkup (or, maybe, you could bring the car, truck or SUV in for them). The oil change is something they should do on schedule anyhow but this is a way to take it off their mind for a little while. And the checkup should catch any problems that could land them on the side of the road calling for road service.
How are their tires? For that matter, how are their shocks and struts, their battery, and their brakes. If it’s time to replace any of these crucial parts, what better way to share the spirit of the occasion. Taking care of any of these mechanical requirements is a great way to say that you care and you want them safe.
You can buy some of those snazzy accessories they’ve dreamt of. For instance, if your boyfriend has a 4-wheeler, you can get those spot lights to mount on top of the roll bar. How about colored lights for under their lowrider? You can buy them a new Bluetooth stereo and a subscription to Spotify or another music service.

Valentine’s Day is a day for expressing your love for those who matter most in your life. Their car, truck or SUV is a big part of their life.
